Can you put a Honda S2000 Engine in a 1997 Honda Civic?

Of course baby. Its the only way to FLY.You will be prying at the wheel wells like i did, but you'll get er done

Yes you can. You might have to make some modifications a little bit but to be honest with you, you can put virtually any engine into any car with the proper modifications and customizations.

don't waste your time... go K20, all motor or drop a Spoon into it... but yes you can... well clearance will be the problem there

I'd go with a K20 swap. it would be easier and most cost effective. a K20 is what the new civic Si's have. throw on a turbo and run like 12PSI and you'll kill a S2K.

People forgot to mention that you would have to convert the civic to rear wheel drive. The motor alone is about $5,000. Then the conversion the Rear wheel drive would be about $10,000. You can get a 02 S2000 for about the same price.

sorry to burst ur bubble but it cant work.see,the civic is an inline 4 and its a small engine.the engine bay is also small.the s2000 is a straight 4.it will neeed alot of custom brakets.but there is an engine lik it that will fit.the k20 from a rsx.its the same engine but just a smaller displacement.

I think so check out hasport.com for that kind of thing.
